Moovum website technical
The Moovum site is a default Joomla! site running on a dedicated server (lighttpd and mysql). We have implemented some extensions to make the site running like the way we do. So far the most challenging of this site was creating the content and also create a proper design, both driven by the talent and dedication of Arno.
As there is no real good integrated forum solution for Joomla! we have selected a forum solution on our own. SMF is out of the question, this because of the lack of a proper bridge and their stance against the derivative work definition within Joomla! PHPBB would have been a logical choice, but we ended up with Phorum because of it's flexibility and ease of use when it comes to templating.
We have written a Phorum to Joomla! bride to integrate Phorum as if it is part of the Joomla! installation. To make that happen we have created a GPL'ed version of a Joomla! user plugin, and we have created a Phorum module (Apache 2.0 licenced) to make bi-directional login/logout and user management possible.
We have implemented Moovur (Joomla! extension that implements Mollom) to protect ourselves from the Spam maffia. You can download Moovur for free from this website. We provide a user manual, and a technical manual for developers to incorporate Moovur into their solutions to fight the spammers.
